Vita "hacked," (PSP) homebrew on the way (not piracy)

Is the package manager something a future FW update will likely disable?
No. As I said, this only allows non DRM apps or demos. If we were able to do what you wanted above, boom - there's piracy on Vita.

Will it still work with transferring from ps3 and (longshot) will it enable local ps4 remote play?

Wow they should of waited until PS TV made it out in the US so the new FW would include that system
If anything I'd rather have that PSTV hacked.
EDIT: Looking back at the information now, it seems this was never intended to be public, at least not anytime soon but was leaked.
It's almost a certainty it will be disabled. As it stands it can only use specific unlicensed files, but if the packages are ever cracked this is a super easy entry for pirating games and applications.
QCMA is purely a PC application to be used instead of the official CMA program. It does not change anything on the Vita CMA app.
You should still be able to transfer between the Vita and PS3 without problems, there is a trick to using it on a PS3 without having to update the Vita to the latest firmware and that is to:
1. Connect your Vita to your PC and connect to QCMA to the point where you could transfer files (you may need to be in airplane mode throughout this entire process)
2. Unplug from PC and plug into PS3 without quitting the Vita app
3. On the Vita select to transfer between Vita and PS3
I have used remote play on PS3 with the Vita being on a lower firmware than the current official one, haven't tested it at all on PS4 as I only recently got one and won't be able to test that until the Vita has a new firmware.

Can anybody tell me how to go through the email package manager thingy?
I tried to send the "<a href=psgmpen?titleid=NPXS10031″>OPEN PKG INSTALLER</a>"
and "psgm
None works
anyone got this working?

It may have something to do with how the email client you use formats the email, SKFU said it needs to be a HTML email and looking on Wikipedia I found this:
So your best bet is to sign up for an account on Wololo's forum and use this link to send an email to yourself. The email you receive could be in your junk so be aware of that.

Sounds like exactly how OCMA worked for getting stuff on PS3. I used that all the time to get new games after the FW changed. I'll look into setting this new program up. What are the big benefits over OCMA?
FataIChoice
Member
I don't believe OCMA is still supported and I couldn't get it working with 3.18, but that could be something I was doing wrong.
QCMA also allows the transfer of packages with the package installer.
On PS3 it is entirely separate from PSN (direct connection), PS4 may be a different situation.

For some reason QCMA isn't recognizing my Vita :/ I've refreshed databases god knows how many times.
these steps are not working for me. like at all. Get the exploited save file with the "TN-V" when I download that I get a corrupted file.
thank you for your help. but is there a simplified version that I can actually use ?
all I know is I have the Gladiator game in my psv.
thanks again

Tried restarting your Vita in airplane mode?

Well now there is some progress. After doing that, it tries to connect but eventually says "Could not connect to the PC."

Disabled the official content manger?
Where are you getting the demo pkg files?

Uninstalled it and no change.

I had a bit of trouble when I first installed it, but it was fixed by restarting the Vita in airplane mode so I am not entirely sure what to do now. Did you completely uninstall CMA before installing QCMA? I also read somewhere that you may need to restart between uninstalling CMA and installing QCMA (possibly after too), but that was not something I needed to do.
I'm trying to think of how I can help without just repeating what spons wrote, is there anything specific you can tell us?
Is the Vita saying it is corrupted in the Content Manager or is it when you try to load the save in Gladiator Begins?
What region are you using?
Have you ever transferred anything to or from the PC and Vita before?
no this is the first time I transfer anything to the vita. I tried everything you tell me but its just not working. maybe having a slim ps vita imported from japan has anything to do with it ? my account is a US account.
anyway.
here is what I did, I downloaded the 660 firmware and renamed it from eboot or whatever it was called to 660.
put it in the same saved folder for the gladiator game.
put the whole gladiator saved file + 660 firmware into the random folder under the ps save data. when I go to content manager in pc tho. I cant find it.
I hope it won't lead to that...
On the other hand I would really appropriate if in response to this Sony simply allowed more than one account on a single Vita system. That would rock.

Odd, I have no clue why it would not show up in there. Try copying a save from your Vita (PSP if you can) to your PC to see if it is placed in the same place you put the Gladiator folder.
Also, you didn't change the name of the Gladiator save folder, right? only the eboot needs to be renamed.
yes. I didn't rename anything but the eboot file and put it in the downloaded US gladitator version based on my gladiator US account download.
I bought street fighter alpha 3 max " psp game before" I tried to transfer the game from vita to pc " save file "
I went to the ps vita folder, saved data, random file, nothing inside.. where did the save go ?

Thank you for this!
Go to store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. After you login go here, it should show you all the games you've downloaded from PSN. Find the link with .pkg at the end of it. Copy, paste and go.

Also, Destiny of Spirits (Asia) doesn't work. Trying US version, probably gonna get the same result but at least I'll be able to read the error messages.

Yeah, the only advice I can think of is to try the actual game, save a proper working save file. Then copy it to your PC then replace it's contents with the stuff from the save you downloaded, then transfer it back.
Sorry I cannot be of more help, if you are still having difficulties you could try the forums on wololo.net, there are people there that know a lot more than I do.

Hmm PSO without switching account? Time to really start and play the game if possible.
Yes, if I'm reading right it's a Kernal exploit.

Copy the "click here to open" in the initial link. Past it to Yahoo/G-mail. E-mail yourself.
Open your e-mail account on your PSP2. Click link.
Adventure of Little Ralph runs like shit for some reason. no vsync, lots of framedrops.
yes
yes
cheststrongwell
my cake, fuck off
Does this let you play PS1 games with sound now?
Open up your cma settings and check to see you haven't accidentally changed your save location.

Whoa that packet manager thing is interesting, let's see what demos there are
And two questions: Did someone already try this with free DLC from another region? I thought maybe I could install the free Neptunia Re;Birth DLC like this since I have a EU account on my Vita and a US copy
And lets say I install a demo like this, can I backup the demo manually to my PC via CMA later to install it again whenever I want without the packet manager?

I came to ask this. Last I read, the last builds of this CFW were buggy when it came to PSX games with sound.
Can I uninstall Sony's CMA after having QCMA?
If you don't want to update your firmware, yeah.
Should be fine. You can't use it anyway unless you uninstall the custom drivers that QCMA uses.
Does it really? If it could I would assume that people on wololo and that hacking forum would be all over that but there's not a single mention of such a thing.
There is.

Wow. So downloadable trials unlock the full game, and PSP isos can be loaded onto the Vita.
Is that right? Or just custom, created games can be loaded? Reading through the thread now; really interesting read.
but you dont have 3.30
So I tried some us/jap only apps on my european Vita. Netflix works, Sony never bothered to release it here, reader works but is in japanese, Crunchyroll works, Tunein works, Crackle wont open, maybe it checks my ip and needs some sort on vpn/dns solution..but I'm just happy to have Netflix finally.
